Linac - 17 Nov

EPSM 2015 Conference, Wellington, New Zealand

AEP Pacific showcased LINAC components from e2v at the Engineering and the Physical Sciences in Medicine Conference, EPSM 2015.

The event, held from the 8-12 November, at the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, in Wellington, is the premier annual event for medical physicists and biomedical engineers in Australia and New Zealand.

With the theme of Inspire, Connect, Advance – the program was headlined by international keynote speakers, feature research, educational and professional sessions.

As the local alternative source for original e2v magnetrons, independent from the LINAC OEM’s, AEP Pacific was well received by the Australian and New Zealand physicists and LINAC technicians.

Successful Vermogenselectronica event 2015!

On June 23rd AEP Hybrid Power & AEP Components joined together the Vermogenselectronica event 2015.

This annual event is meant to show the latest innovations and trends in the field of power electronics.

As AEP Components is a supplier of ultracapacitors, capacitors, resistors and power semiconductors we have seen a great interest in our products. The Ultracapactior modules and power electronics of AEP Hybrid Power have shown our added value in the design, development and system integration of custom made solutions.

These modules can be integrated 1 on 1 in your own application and they also have an advantageous volume/weight ratio, which makes a compact assembly possible.

Thank you for visiting us at our booth at the Vermogenselectronica event 2015. We had a wonderful event, mostly due to your visit, and we hope that we informed you sufficiently about our components, Energy Storage Systems and power electronics. If there’s still any question or remark please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our email address: sales@aeppacific.co.nz
